5 Best Self-Defense Products for Women

Everyone wants to feel safe and while self-defense is not something that anyone likes to think about, it is important to have a plan in place in case you’re ever in a bad situation. While you can do your part in making sure you are staying focused and aware of your surroundings, sometimes women may feel more comfortable if equipped with some self-defense products. Here are some of the best self-defense products:

PPS8 Personal Safety Alarm
This is potentially the most effective product to have at your disposal. What is great about the personal safety alarm is it requires very little interaction with an attacker. This alarm releases 130 decibels, attracting attention to you. It is easily carried in a pocket, and all you have to do to discharge it is to pull the pen. Just remember that though this may deter your attacker, it isn’t guaranteed. Purchase the PPs8 Personal Safety Alarm here.

Honeycomb Hairbrush Concealed Stiletto Dagger by Cold Steel
Though this may look like a hairbrush, there is actually a dagger with a 3.5 inch blade hidden in the comb’s head. This dagger is made from weather-resistant, durable fiberglass that allows for a quick transformation from brush to weapon in the matter of a second. Should you need it, the element of surprise will surely be a help in the heat of the moment. Buy the Honeycomb Hairbrush here.

The Guard Dog Lipstick Stun Gun
Like the brush, this is sure to have the element of surprise. This 5-inch lipstick is equipped with a stungun and also has a 100-lumen flashlight that will blind your attacker. It just may give you the surprise and time you need in order to get away from the situation. Buy the Lipstick Stun Gun here.

Sabre Lipstick Pepper Spray
This is another easily concealed weapon that can help protect you. It is easy to carry in your pocket or in a wallet, allowing you to have quick access to fend off an attacker. Sabre uses a police-strength formula of pepper spray. The only thing about pepper spray is that some people are immune to its effects. Buy the Sabre Lipstick Pepper Spray here.

Smith and Wesson Tactical Pen
This looks and acts just like a pen and also comes with a stylus made for computer screens, but it can also be used as a weapon. Like the others before, this may seem a little misleading, but the tip provides a powerful blow when you strike, and because it is a pen, it is easy to carry around in your pocket, wallet, or purse.

Carrying one of these items can provide some piece of mind that you are prepared should you ever find yourself in a dangerous situation.
